Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-04-22 07:33:41 UTC 
From ${URL} :

A flaw was found in the way GNUstep's gdomap (GNUstep Distributed Objects nameserver) handled logging. A 
remote attacker could send a crafted request to gdomap that would cause gdomap to abort. This issue 
affects version 1.24.6 and earlier versions.

Upstream bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41751
Upstream patch: 
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/libs/base/trunk/Tools/gdomap.c?r1=37756&r2=37755&pathrev=37756

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2014-04-23 09:54:38 UTC 
gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.6-r1 is now in ~arch, with the backported fix.

As gnustep-base/* packages usually need to go stable in formation, I'll check and make a stabilization list to go along with gnustep-base-1.24.6-r1 (1.24.6 was ready for stabling anyway)
Comment 2 Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2014-04-24 08:26:38 UTC 
gnustep packages work fine enough here with current stable packages and =gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.6-r1, no need to stable other gnustep-* packages for this security bug

=gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.6-r1 is good for security stabling, target arches: amd64, ppc, sparc, x86
Comment 3 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2014-05-02 03:19:31 UTC 
Arches, please test and mark stable:

=gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.6-r1

Target Keywords : "amd64 ppc spark x86"

Thank you!

CVE-2014-2980 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-2980):
  Tools/gdomap.c in gdomap in GNUstep Base 1.24.6 and earlier, when run in
  daemon mode, does not properly handle the file descriptor for the logger,
  which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (abort) via an
  invalid request.
Comment 12 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-04 19:07:26 UTC 
YES too, request filed.
